A Victim who Saw People Burn to Death
Before His Eyes.

KoUT, October 1lth.-In the little ting
room OF the cottage which serves as d hotel IN
tins town, two OF the wounded survivors of the
accident still remained late this afternoon
Henry Miller, a Bohemian boy, on his way from
Dundee, Ill, to the old country is stretched on
one OF the lounges in the low dark room. His
head Is teartnlly battered. and his right leg is
fractured. The other wounded man is Joseph
McCool. a bar tender of Boston, who, had he
not been passenger on the fated train, would
have been welcomed in Chicago by relatives
whom he has not seen for years. His injuries
are for the most part internal, and are not so
severe but that his recovery is probable He
was able TO tell of the awful occurrence as fol-
lows:
A SURVIVORS, AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
1 was in the passenger coach at the time of
the accident, which was next to the last car III
the train. Just before midnight went into the
smoker, which was just ahead of our car, and
chatted for an hour, and came back to the
coach with young man who sat down near me.
That's the last I've ever seen or expect 70 see of
the poor fellow. Just as l had stretched myself
out to go to sleep, ahd almost before closed my
eyes, there was an awful, unearthly crash,
which, God help me, / never want to hear
again. Icou,d feel myself thrown violently to-
ward the top OF the car, and then became in
sensible. On the way up l realized that all wss
confusion in the air: that canes valises rods of
iron and lamps were in tiers about me- / must
have regained my consciousness in short
time, for when awose al was darkness in the
car, and horrible shrieks and
PIERCING WA Is OF AGONY
Almost deafened my ears. In the end of tn
Car fnrthest from me the stove was overturned,
and the fiames were just starCing TO spread with
magic rapidity. There was some sort of new
gas lamp in the cars and reservoirs reaching
from one to the other. The flames leaped up the
sides, and in less time than can tell it the gas
was burning the whole length of the car over
head: wss wedged between two seats, where
could not move limb of my body and there
watched the fire slowly creeping upon me.
1T WAS A TERRIBLE SIGHT
In the end of the coach near the fire | could
see lady caught between seats as 1 was. The
lire slowly crept across the car. Her dress
caught fire, and in agony she burned before my
eyes. Just across from my seat noticed, soon
before the accident, father, his wife and
daughter. | saw them also crushed together
and burned. Just the flames were blazing
but a foot or two away tram me a man pulled
me into the aisle and said, Come to the win
dow " He must have taken me for some one
else. for at that moment he looked closely at my
face and he dropped me and hurried through
the window with an exclamation of evident
disappointment. l then painfully crawled after
him in safety.
